This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Ashmore Reef Marine Park survey using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems. The Ashmore Reef Marine Park bathymetry survey (GA4870/FK210409), also known as the Australian Mesophotic Coral Examination survey, was led by AIMS aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor, from the 09th of April to the 26th of April 2021. The primary objective of the expedition was to map Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCE’s), monitor anthropogenic and natural stressors to MCE’s and use an ROV and AUV to capture high definition video and collect samples. The data collected from the expedition will develop baseline knowledge to inform conservation efforts and improve management of the Ashmore Reef Marine Park. This V1 dataset contains one 16m resolution 32-bit floating point geotiff file of the Ashmore Reef Marine Park bathymetry, derived from the processed EM302 and EM710 bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
